What this recall means for you
Certain 2014-2016 Kalmar Ottawa T2 vehicles, built between July 14, 2014, and March 25, 2016, have a brake system air pressure gauge that may not display the correct air pressure level. The vehicles therefore do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 for air brake systems.
If the gauge does not show the proper air pressure, the driver may not know whether the brakes have enough air. This increases the risk of a crash.
Kalmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air system pressure sensors at no charge. The recall began June 3, 2016. Owners can contact Kalmar customer service at 1-785-229-6327, and should check their vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
